★I dischi del Barone
Open Day
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33rpm. Following a slew of recent solo releases, this is the first vinyl single
from Stefan Christensen, known from New Haven, CT bands like Estrogen
Highs and Permanent Feels. Like a one-legged Crazy Horse sort of walking
on the Xpressway towards the Twisted Village and stopping by Columbus,
Ohio for a minute, these 5 tracks range from Galbraithian
over-before-it-began cassette-fo…

Kid Brother
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached,
stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33rpm. The duo of Russell Walker and Tom James Scott follows up the Coventry
Campbell CS from 2015 with two new tracks. A splendid, minimalistic
mixture of post-Savoury Days UK DIY slow motion pop through shimmering
organ melodies, sparse drumming, piano and field recordings, with a
sense of melancholia sort of recognizable from Tom James Scott solo
recordings but at the same time…
Palisades
This single by New Zealand's most overly-prolific trio is taken from the sessions for their upcoming double LP on Ba Da Bing. Forthcoming non-selections recorded live in an empty bar in Port Chalmers, and produced by the band as all their records are. Nothing much changes in the Dead C's world, it just all happens again and again in the same way. Who could ask for more?
Untitled (No7)
Untitled two-tracker from Berlin's Krube, following up releases on labels such as Hrönir and Fragment Factory. A step even further into oblivion, exploring unknown territories via daunting everyday life recordings and electronic slices of nothing and everything.
The Final Programme
Two prime cuts of intense noise bliss from Rodger Stella, sort of in the vein of some One Dark Eye stuff with a psychedelic twist slightly reminiscent of C.C.C.C. Stuff flies out of everywhere.
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33 1/3rpm.
Crystal Drops / Ground Loops (a line, obscured)
Kostis Kilymis is a sound artist based in London, UK. This 7" contains new material following two cassette releases for Mazurka Editions and Hideous Replica. Two tracks recorded at home and outside in 2014 using circuits, pulses and wind noise - one a bit rhythmic, the other less so.
Mastered by A.F. Jones at Laminal Audio. 200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33 1/3rpm.
Light Silence, Dark Speech
Lea Bertucci - Light Silence, Dark Speech 7"
€7.00
Lea Bertucci's debut album Resonance Shapes LP from 2013 is an overlooked gem that caused a small stir at the IDDB office. On this much more stripped down affair the New York-based artist changed her bass clarinet for an old alto sax and the two cuts delivered here are somewhat different, but just as intimate and perplexing. 10 mesmerizing minutes that owes just as much to free jazz skronk as it does to contemporary sound art.

The Laboratory
2013 marked the 25th anniversary of Idea Fire Company, the duo of Scott Foust and Karla Borecky based in Amherst, Massachusetts. Right before the end of the year The Laboratory EP was recorded. Two tracks of icy synth work, at times sort of reminiscent of parts of the Anti-Natural LP from 1999, but this probably being the most stripped down and monotonous material you will be able to find in the splendid discography of Idea Fire Company.
